'BAWAT BAHA AY PAALALA KUNG PAANO TAYO BINIGO NG SISTEMA'
Akbayan Party-list Representative Chel Diokno linked the worsening floods to what he described as systemic failures, while calling for greater transparency and accountability in government spending.
Diokno also highlighted several measures he said would help ensure that public funds are properly spent, including the Independent Commission Against Infrastructure Corruption Act (HB 4453), Right to Information Act (HB 7306), CADENA Act (HB 8449), Open Infrastructure Act (HB 4485), and a proposal for an Open Bicam to make national budget deliberations more accessible to the public.
